Analysis on Feet Feet is a prose talking about a little child looking at his sister’s death. The story is set in a post war period, when poverty and diseases are everywhere. We can know this by looking at the date written under the title, “September 1948”. The story happened in a working class family in Ireland. We can know that it is set in Ireland from the little sister’s name. From the sentence in line 7, “ Una. My younger sister, Una.” We know that her name is Una, which is an Irish name, so we can know that it is an Irish family. It is showed that the family is in working class by looking at the descriptions of the uncles’ work and the mother’s feet. In paragraph 4, it mentioned that the uncles are working in a building site as workers. While in paragraph 5, it mentioned that the mother is wearing low heels and her feet are swollen, which shows that even the mother have been working. This prose is set under a table. It can be seen in line 5, “Smoky had found me under the table”, that the child is under the table. In the story, the child is the main character. The child is in denial of his sister’s death. We can see this from his action and his mind. First, we know that he is hiding himself under the table, this shows that he doesn’t want to face this tragedy. Secondly, in paragraph 4, we can see the child’s flashback of his past life with the uncles. This showed that he is trying to think of other things so not to remind himself of his sister’s death, which is an action of evading. Last but not least, in the ending paragraph, the sentence “Smoky shook under his fur and whimpered when I pushed him away” showed that the child is suppressing and denying his emotions. We can also see that the child is bewildered as he only has partial understandings. We can know this simply by looking from the angle of the child, all he can see under the table are feet only. Also, in the last paragraph, the child asked quite a lot of rhetorical questions which showed his...

September 1948
“Feet” is an extract from a novel by Seamus Dean, Reading in the Dark, set in the year 1948. The event is narrated in a first person perspective, from the point of view of a young boy, who is hidden under a table, such that all he can see are the feet of the people in the room. In this extract, the author conveys the observations through the innocent perspective of a boy who might only be around eight to ten years of age.
The first scene that we are introduced to seems tense and bustling. The boy can make out little of “the noise and […] the talk”, which suggests something important is happening, which our protagonist is pointedly left out of. The fact that the room was “filled with feet”, which is all the boy can see from his hiding place, points out that there are many people present, lending the situation a more serious atmosphere.
Smoky, his dog, had “found him under the table”. This suggests that first of all, Smoky had been looking for him for comfort and company, as dogs can be very sensitive to the tension in the atmosphere around it. Smoky was “whimpering” and “quivering”, which the author uses to convey not only the unease and fear of the dog, but also of the young boy and possibly of the adults in the room as well. Secondly, the fact that our protagonist was under a table suggests that he had been hiding and was not supposed to be in the room at the time. However, he was...

FeetCommentary Rewrite
“Feet” presents the perspective from a naïve, innocent child who cant seem to comprehend the death of his sister. The short story revolves around the situation the child is experiencing, having himself and his family go through very stressful times because of his sisters death. Throughout the story we are able to observe the inability of the child to cope with the passing of his sister, while he experiences the stress his family has to endure because of the loss.
Things start off very simply, as the narrator is hidden under a tablecloth watching the events unveil. We don’t really know why he is hiding from everyone; he seems to be there out of pure curiosity. We know that he can’t see the situation clearly, both physically and mentally. “The plastic tablecloth hung so far down that I could only see their feet. But I could hear the noise and some talk, although I was so crunched up that I could make out very little of what they were saying.” Not only could he not see the situation completely physically, but also mentally he is not able to understand the death of a sibling completely. One way that we are able to deduce this is by the fact that the child pays a lot of attention to small insignificant things. This shows how the narrator tries to understand the situation better by trying to relate to things that he understands. This...

Cold Feet or Burnt Feet?
Have you ever done something as a child that was so irresponsible that it gets brought up at almost every family gathering? Most people probably have, and I most definitely have. There’s an old saying, to “have cold feet,” which means to be fearful of completing a certain action or task. When someone gets cold feet they tend to lose all of their confidence and they start to doubt their own beliefs or capabilities. Now burnt feet on the other hand is just that—burnt feet. This is the story of how I burnt my own feet.
It was the summer before the second grade, and I was excited to have made so many friends during the first grade to finally have kids other than my cousin and sister to hang out with. My two best friends were Ashley Legere and Jenna Doyle, and for the longest time we were inseparable. That summer was so fun for us; we celebrated my seventh birthday at Chuck E Cheese’s, we had pool/trampoline parties at Ashley’s house, and we would spend our time outside almost every single day. The only bad part was that we would get jealous of each other constantly. If I wanted to hang out with just Ashley one day, Jenna would be mad at us for not inviting her and vice versa.
On this one particular day I had chosen to hang out at Jenna’s house with her friend Samantha and her neighbor Julia. It was a smoldering hot summer day, so there was...

...MY commentary
In my static image I chose to use the colours red, blue, white, purple, red and black because they all play an important part in the image. As some examples the parts in my image that are coloured in blue represent confidence, grey/black represents power, red represents determination and strength, purple represents ambition I also used white because it represents goodness and a successful beginning. All of these colours link to the main idea “overcoming challenges in life can be difficult” because without power, confidence, determination, strength and ambition it is hard to climb over obstacles and face the challenges that come your way.
In my image I drew the sky tower which symbolizes the difficulties you may face in life. The girl with the rope strapped around her ankles symbolizes that no matter how far up the tower you may reach you will always be brought back down. Instead of giving up let the bungee rope bounce you right back up. Her clothes are purple because purple is a colour that shows ambition. The clouds are there to symbolize light and safety. The quote “keep calm and carry on” is in blue to symbolize faith and truth.
The setup or layout of my static image is picture at the top and quote at the bottom. I chose to do my set up this way to draw the audience’s attention to the sky tower and the quote as they are 2 of the main pictures in the image. The background is coloured in blue to show that all the different components to...

...Gabriela Mistral’s, “Tiny Feet”
A child’s tiny feet,
Blue, blue with cold,
How can they see and not protect you?
Oh, my God! (1-4)
Tiny wounded feet,
Bruised all over by pebbles,
Abused by snow and soil! (5-7)
Man, being blind, ignores
that where you step, you leave
A blossom of bright light,
that where you have placed
your bleeding little soles
a redolent tuberose grows. (8-13)
Since, however, you walk
through the streets so straight,
you are courageous, without fault. (14-16)
Child’s tiny feet,
Two suffering little gems,
How can the people pass, unseeing. (17-19)
The poem “Tiny Feet” (1945) by Gabriela Mistral is a heart breaking poem that describes to us the lives of poverty-stricken children and the need for society to help and protect them. Mistral’s poems resulted from a life of tragedies that she, herself endured. When she was 3 years old, her father left home and never returned, leaving her mother and half-sister to raise her. Mistral was falsely accused of wasting classroom materials in school, and was unable to defend herself. She was then victimized by her peers when they threw stones at her and she was sent home to be taught by her half-sister. This was the first instance of injustice and human cruelty that she encountered which left a profound impression on her as a...

Essay for Bound Feet and Western Dress:
Traditions in Chinese culture are long-rooted and are taken very seriously from generation to generation. However, there must always be room for some type of modern change to occur. Modern change is needed in order for a society to grow and strive. In Bound Feet and Western Dress the conflict between Chinese traditions and modern change arises. With this conflict it is important to talk about the different meanings of liberation for men and women and the way in which Chang Yu-I was able to obtain liberation throughout her life.
Liberation in China means two different things for a man and a woman because of the gender differences that are prevalent. For example, in traditional China women are treated unequally and are simply seen as a piece of property to their husband. They must obey his demands and also remain a slave to his family and traditions. As Yu-I told her niece, “You must remember this. In China, a woman is nothing.” The women feel a sense of worthlessness and live each day for the one that they are forced to marry. For a Chinese man, liberation means becoming stronger, more powerful, and of higher prestige. On the other hand, with a Chinese woman, liberation means being equal to that of a man and being able to live a life on her own terms rather than that of her husband’s.
For a woman, liberation is all about being independent and...

Though primarily an animated film, Happy Feet does incorporate motion capture of live action humans in certain scenes. The film was simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in IMAX 2D format.[2] The studio had hinted that a future IMAX 3D release was a possibility. However, Warner Bros., the film’s production company, was on too tight a budget to release HappyFeet in IMAX digital 3D.[3]
Happy Feet won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film, and was nominated for the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature and the Saturn Award for Best Animated Film.
The film was dedicated in memory of Nick Enright, Michael Jonson, Robby McNeilly Green, and Steve Irwin.
A sequel, Happy Feet Two, was released into theatres November 18, 2011 and received mixed reviews.
